I am sitting here at work this morning feeling like i cant breathe, trembling so bad i can hardly type, every muscle i have is stiff with tension to the point that its painful, i am dizzy, chest feels like someone is crushing it..... ok thats enough of the symptoms, now lets get to whats bothering me.
My 14 year old daughter is leaving to go hundreds of miles away today without me for the first time. This is a class trip that she worked very hard to earn, and is so excited about, so i just cant NOT let her go. Of course she will be chapperoned by decent, respectful people, but i cant stand it! She will be gone for 4 whole days and i am going insane over it. What will i do? how do i cope with this? She is a very good kid (not just because shes mine)She always minds good and i trust her to make the right decisions. But i still am having a hard time with this. I have made her promise to call me as soon as she arrives, and at least twice a day every day. She has a cellphone. I dont want to spoil her fun by being overbearing and calling her every few minutes. She will be back Sunday night. Please pray for me and help me get through this until she makes it back safely. I need help! I feel bad sometimes about not letting my kids do things the other kids do. I dont want my panic and anxiety to affect their lives in a bad way. Has anyone else been through this? Any suggestions for ways to help me calm down would be appreciated.
